I bought a set of side gears from Low Range. I have the chromos ready to go in before I go for another road worthyness test in June. I'll pull the diff head and get an engineer to fit the side gears. They were $55 from Low Range cf $400 from ARB (which includes more stuff).

Did you buy the 26 spline OEM replacement side gears? Because they won't work in an air locker. You need the ARB specific side gears.

Why wont the standard side gears work? Is there not enough room in there? I'm just getting ready to do the swap so dont want to get stranded after pulling the front diff head out.

the side gears in an ARB are part of what makes the locker lock.
standard ones arent even close to working
